At times hilariously awkward - at times heartbreakingly painful - this production exposes the intimate and vulnerable memories of our high school days.

FOUNDERS ANNOUNCE 'BIRDS" PROJECT TO CONTINUE
---------------
Lynne Jackson, Mike Palter & Robb Dimmick announce that with the support and encouragement of Mr. George Wein, Jill Davidson and Festival Productions, Carefusion, international music educator Jamie Aebersold and a number of jazz musicians and jazz lovers, their "BIRDS: Kids to Newport" project will take place again this year. Last year the trio accompanied an excited bus load of under-served Providence, RI, children to what was their first jazz festival. As they listened to the music and they met with the magnificent Esperanza Spaulding after her set, the glow in their eyes lit up all of Newport ... yes, even during the day!
As they promised long ago, if necessary they would start with one bus and do their best to encourage supporters to bring this once in a lifetime experience to these kids. Hopefully the days of explaining why this is so important to these children are over. This is a modest beginning, a continuing endeavor sustained by the glow in the eyes of those children. This year's "BIRDS: Kids to Newport" event will occur amidst a two-week long, historical/theatrical project, "It's a Wonderful World," celebrating the life and music of Louis Armstrong.
